- Painting intuitive watercolour landscapes through colour craving and shapes.
#watercolour #watercolourbackground #watercolourlandscape
In this video I paint some watercolour backgrounds using a variety of my watercolour brands. We paint abstract landscapes on paper and I show you some of my art journals and works in progress, including acrylic landscapes on paper and canvas.
We pick a card from my "Art Poetry" card deck (link to shop below), and also from my 2024 Fodder collage calendar. I share a page from the book, "How to Be More Tree", and it relates to the Hornbeam tree and the theme of authenticity.
I plan to revisit some of these abstract watercolour backgrounds with mark making supplies once the first layers are dry.

Thank you ,you are definitely inspiring!
You are so welcome!
I always learn so much watching you-thank you for the inspo!
You are so welcome!
Love watching you paint. You make anything look possible.
Thanks so much 😊
Love your videos. I can definitely tell that these landscapes are your style. Especially when you add your marks. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Tha KS for all you do. Love the way you work. Art is always so fun xo
You are so welcome!
What a great video again with all your inspiration and lovely stories. Thank you Allison ❤
You are so welcome! Thanks Rina
J'ai découvert votre chaîne il y a peu de temps. Je suis débutante à l'aquarelle à l'âge de... 60 ans. Vos vidéos m'aident à surmonter mon ignorance et ma peur du résultat raté et de la déception qui en suit. Elles me donnent l'impression que tout est finalement un jeu avec les couleurs et ça diminue cette pression que je ressens en utilisant du matériel coûteux. Je vous en remercie infiniment pour cela.
Bons baisers de France.
Im in the same boat, and could not have said it better myself! ❤
Merci Catherine.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. Love your work.
You are so welcome. Thanks for your support.
I really love your work Allison! And your videos are wonderful ! Thank you for sharing your insights and processes!❤
Thank you so much!
Hei Alison. I love your videos. You talk about art classes, could you maybe do a video about that? I would love to do some art classes, but I don't find any that look interesesting. And when you mention the art classes that you take, they sound very good 😂
Just bought your deck ❤❤❤❤ love from Quebec
Thankyou so much! Sending love from Alberta. Xx
I have those same watercolor journal books, the ones you say are from “speed ball” the light grey linen type of covers. I bought one for myself and my 6 year old to watercolor in. It’s a lovely watercolor journal.
Beautiful paintings. Congratulations on your new art studio. Would love a tour of it when you’re settled in, if you do those type of videos. I love watching and seeing how other artists create a space the love that inspires them.
Yes- I’ll be showing my new studio . Thanks for writing. That’s nice you purchased a journal for your 6 year old. I love painting with mine(my journal and my preschooler)
@@allisondawrant oh wonderful. I look forward to the video. Yes, we love to do our daily devotional to the Lord to start our day every morning. Worshiping, praising and giving thanks, some times he chooses to dance. Other times we read the Bible together and then he will draw and paint what Holy Spirit leads him to do. He will paint the stories in the Bible he just read about. Or he will craft and create something the Lord puts on his heart. I started letting him watercolor when he was 3 years old. But at two years old I would get him those watercolor books that you literally just paint the water on and the ink comes to life and activates the color. Do you recall those? I loved those as a kid, you don’t see much of them anymore. I still love them even as an adult, truthfully. lol🤭 I found a handful of them at dollar tree one day. I grabbed the three different book styles options they offered. I haven’t seen them since, which is a shame.
Bonjour from Gatineau, Québec! I really love your videos and artwork. I’m always so happy when you have a new video up. Congratulations on your new art studio! Hope we get a tour when it’s finished. Thanks for sharing your passions, Allison… À bientôt 😘
Thank you for supporting me and following me on this journey. Love to Quebec❤️
Good evening, Alison. Loving the joy you feel when explaining various pieces of your artwork. It's quite inspiring. Just going with your feelings, and not thinking too much about it. Your colours are gorgeous! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your listing of materials you have used. 😘❤️
Thankyou so much Liz❤️ and hello💕
I find your landscape art very interesting. I haven’t tried anything like that. A great job as always. I am looking forward to see your mark making on them. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I am loving your new approach to landscape.
Thank you!
That's it. Don't overthink it, I like that! ❤🇦🇺
Thankyou❤️❤️❤️
Allison, I was so excited to see a glimpse of your abstract landscapes on IG and thrilled to see even more in this video! They are gorgeous! I am very curious to see how you do your mark making on them so I hope you will have time to film that at some point. I am always so amazed by the diversity of your styles and yet each style has your unique fingerprint. 💗
You are always inspiring and I appreciate hearing your encouragement to let go of self-judgement when creating. I have been struggling with that big time along with lack of time and energy to paint. Your reminders to "play" have been helpful and I am trying to embrace that.
Congratulations on your new art studio. That is great you will have more space for creating! And for 10,000 subscribers! And for an abundance of orders and the need for an assistant. None of this is a surprise. Your artwork is amazing and your video channel very inspiring. 💗
Thankyou so much Cathy. lots to catch up on! I appreciate you .xx
Beautiful landscapes Allison !
And WOW lots of happiness happening in your life right now , and that is so awesome ! Moving your art into a studio will be so inspiring for you ! Looking forward to see a video of your new space ❤ congratulations my dear , I’m so happy for you. ❤
Thank you so much!
Wow your recent work is beautiful Allison! The landscape paintings you showed and the acrylic ones on paper are amazing even if you won’t add anything to them. I can’t put my finger on it what makes especially your watercolor work so special beside the shapes, colors and how you combine them. Maybe it’s how you apply the paint to the paper, the amount of water you use. I don’t know but I love how the paint looks when its dry in your journals and paintings.
I also only try to use vegan and eco-friendly art supplies. I was surprised when I discovered that watercolor paper isn’t vegan most of the time. I recently ordered 100% cotton watercolor paper from the Italian brand Fabriano, Artistico traditional white. It’s actually vegan friendly paper.
I was also curious about the Viviva watercolor paint. It’s eco-friendly and the cork palette is biodegradable. The paint in the palettes should also be lightfast. To my surprise the colors are very pigmented, you don’t need a lot of paint. I have the spring and the metalic palette. I’m no professional watercolor artist, but I was pleasantly surprised and they are very affordable.
Your videos are so welcome, but I hope your put yourself first and that despite these busy times you’re able to find some moments of calmness and joy with your family and creativity.
Thankyou for this information and sweet support and encouragement. Xx
Congrats on hitting 10K subscribers Allison!
🎉thankyou Gail! I can’t believe it!
Love love your art work❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much 😀
Good evening from the UK 👋
I was so excited to see you posted a new video as I really wanted to let you know that my husband ordered your oracle deck for my birthday (finally 😊) and we received the package in super fast time yesterday.
I'm not allowed to open it until the end of May, but my husband reports all in good order. I can't wait.
Thank you so much 💓
Sweet❤
That is awesome! glad it got to you quickly, and hope you love it and Happy birthday to you Bianca! (Birthday wishes for May!)
Happy Birthday Bianca 🎂
Love it, love EVERYTHING ALLISON DARWANT! ❤
Wow. You made my day! Thanks Maria
Watching and *listening* to you'r Fab suggestions And _mark making_ *abstract colours* onto 300gram paper...

I have just discovered your channel. So intrigued with your style. I am completely new to watercolour and am going to try it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful! Thankyou Mae
Beautiful- I missed you! 😊
Thanks Gina
Thanks!
Welcome!
Beautiful and inspiring. Where can one buy the Art Poetry Cards?

Hi Allison I love your work I am going to be teaching some outdoor art classes for kids this summer and I like to sometimes pick present time artists to give as example, inspiration, and technique tell a history and where to find the artist do you have some where I can connect to get a bio and statement/ history
For sure! Send me an email to hello@allisondawrant.com
Thanks ❤️
@@allisondawrant Thanks I sent you an email if you don't see it you can search amandapaints LLC some times they go to spam so I always give a heads up
Do you not worry when using opera pink in works that you sell that it will fade?
Great question. I plan to discuss that in an upcoming video. Stay tuned,.
I've heard about spraying something on your finished work... wondering if that is meant prevent fading 🤔
